FAQs
Where can I buy your bread?
We accept preorders for both pickup and at the local farmers market.
We usually bake during the week, and our bread is ready at the end of the week or over the weekend.
What part of Rhode Island are you located in? And where is pickup for preorders?
Currently we are located at Barrington, RI, 20 minutes away from Providence.
You will receive the exact address before pickup.
HOW DO I ORDER?
To place a preorder, simply visit our website at Hotplate.com . We will provide you with the necessary information and guide you through the process.
Can I place an order for porch pickup spontaneously, or do I need to preorder?
To ensure that your bread is freshly baked and available for pickup, it is recommended to pre-order your items. Spontaneous orders may not be guaranteed, as availability can vary. Pre-ordering allows me to prepare your bread specifically for you and have it ready on the appointed day.
How can I stay updated about your baked goods availabilty?
The best way to be informed about our offerings is by signing up for our email list. This way, you will receive notifications about new products and preorder opportunities.
You can also follow us on social media. We regularly update our social media accounts with information about our baked goods, including preorder options and upcoming farmers market events.
What if I need to cancel or modify my preorder?
If you need to cancel or modify your preorder, please reach out to us as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate your request, although certain limitations may apply, especially if the order is already in the baking process.
How do porch pickups work?
Front porch pickup process is simple and convenient. On the day of your pickup, your sourdough bread(s) will be carefully packaged, with each order clearly labeled with your first name. They will then be placed on the bread display located on the front porch for easy access.
There is no need to ring the bell or notify anyone when you arrive for pickup. The bread will be ready for grab-and-go on the front porch.
What happens if I am unable to pick up my order on the appointed day?
It’s important to pick up your order on the appointed day as I do not store bread. If you are unable to pick up your order on the specified day, please reach out to me in advance. Depending on the circumstances, we may be able to make alternative arrangements.
Are your breads vegan? Any gluten-free bread?
Most of my sourdough are vegan, and so do bagels and focaccia. They only made with water, flour, and salt.
However, I don’t make gluten-free bread right now.
How long does your bread stay fresh?
Our sourdough and sourdough baked goods are good for about 4 days in room temperature and 3 months in the freezer.
Our Japanese milk bread is good for 4-7 days in the room temperature in a plastic bag, and 4-6 weeks in the freezer.
Is it possible to arrange porch pickups on a recurring basis?
Yes, it is possible to arrange porch pickups on a recurring basis. If you would like to have sourdough bread available for pickup regularly, we can discuss a schedule that works best for you. This ensures you always have freshly baked bread whenever you need it.
